THE ASCETIC.

Where rocks amid the Thebiad grimly rise
And ike silver thread in barren sand
The Nile flows onward to the fertile land
Seated with a tomb, one watched the skies.
Whose heart had never known the sweet re-
plies
That come so gladly when at loves COM
mand
a radiant maid lays in your own her hand.
And makes the fair earth glorious with rhe
eyes.
He watched and prayed, yet never answer
came;
For Isis and Osiris still looked down
Along the sand where patient camels trod.
And he had asked that some destroying
flame
Would sweep these from his sight, and leave
the brown,
Wide desert showing the strong wrath of
God

The Honest and Able Mayor.

Faribault Democrat.
The Republican press of Minnesota
has developed vigorous little boom for
Mayor Ames, of Minneapolis, for vice
president. Whether this is to get the
doctor off the gubernatorial track, or is
a part of some other deep laid scheme,
is yet undevelOped; but it is pretty evil
dent that it does not arise from any love
of Mayor AmeS, or from any desire to
aid him or his party; but after all there
have been candidates for the vice presi-
dency, successful and unsuccessful, who
possessed mighty small part of the
honesty and ability that animates the
aDOliS.

CARTER HARRIsON'S TOUR.

EX-MayOr HARRISON, who for so long
held the reinS of municipal government
in Chicago, and made things lively for
the boys. to the detriment of his physi-
cal strength and mental activity, is hay
ing very good time of it indeed in for
eign lands. Under the influence of ia
pans balmy climate and novel customs
he is gaining peace of mind. serenity
of temper and bodily vigOr to which
he had been a stranger for many years
in the eneryating atmosphere of Chi
cagO. He has thrown Off all cares and
is simply enjoying himself, resting now
i'll the land of high-priced teas until the
spirit moves him to seek fun elsewhere.
Mr.. HARRISON is setting an excellent
example to other men who possess means
sufficient to enable them to travel and
seek recuperatiVe rest in combination
with rational enjoyment. Too many
men remain in the harness of profess
SiOnal OF business life long after the
necessity for labOring has passed. and
wear themselves out in the process a
good deal before their time. 1t has be-
come second nature to them to carry
these daily burdens and it is a nature
they find some difficulty in Kidding
themselves of, even if they possess the
inclination. .-.--..
But Mr.. HARRISON has shown, in the
bright and CHEEKY letters he is writing
about his travels. that he has been vastly
benefited by the determination to see
something of the world at his leisure.
even if he is grey-headed, and the result
would be the same with nine out of ten
who might try the experiment. Youth.
Or even vigorous middle age, can readily
endure the strain of high pressure alb
SOrptiOn liz business affairs which seems
to be characteristic of Americans, but
the afternoon of life ought to be rendered
as free from care and as full of whole
some enjOyments as possible by those
upon whom Fortune has smiled and
given the opportunity for rest.
Let Mr.. HARRISON'S friends who
have stuck to their desks and books
while he has been away pleasuring draw
q personal comparison between them
selves and the distinguished traveller,
when he return brOnZed and invigor-
ated by his tour, and see for themselves
who has been the gamer in the months
that have interviewed.

Not Unless They Have To.

Cambridge Press.
The politicians of the Fifth district
will hardly accept the appointments of
the two judges which Gov. McGill has
just made, in lien of the governorship-
unless they are obliged to do so. Hon.
c. A. Gilman, especially, is apt to think
that the next governor should come
from his district.

SUNDAY SILHCUETTES.

The Sunday theater question is only
new form of agitating the old, old cues
ton of how far it is proper to use the
Sabbath day for secular purposes. The
point made in favor of the Sunday
theater is that it favors the masses with
the opportunity for amusement of which
many are deprived during the week.
Those who rebel against the old puri-
tanical ideas of Sabbath observance
naturally fall into line in favor of OPEN
ing the theaters on Sunday.
-
There is another point, however,
which cannot be made in favor of Sun
day theaters. 1t is why should the
theaterS be selected out from all the de-
partments of business as the object of
special favOritism. If other business
concerns are required to be closed OH
Sunday, why should not the theaterS?
The theater, like every other business
institution, is run for revenue only. If
the theater is to be kept open on Sunday,
why should the stores and the shops and
the saloons be closed? While the theater
is measurably public institution, it is in
no sense public necessity.

Mrs. CLEMENT G. CLAY, who chap
erOncd the Southern bellies at Mime
tOnka last summer, is now Mrs. DAVID
CLoPToN. She was married last Tues
day at Huntsville, Ala, to prominent
gentleman of that city. During the
BUCHANAN administration Mrs. CLAY
figured as the most noted belle at the
national capital. She went to Wash
ington as the young wife of one of the
most distinguished men the South ever
sent to congress. She was highly edu
Gated and very beautiful, and at once
took a position as a society queen. The
war brought many tribulatiOns to Mrs.
CLAY. 1t swept away her fortune, and
its close found her husband in prison
with JEFF DAVIS at Fortress Monroe.
With true Wifely fidelity she followed
him to prison and entreated to share
with him his incarceration. Denied
this, she went to Washington and be-
sieged ANDREW JOHNSON for pardon
for her husband. The story of her
trouble in securing his release is one of
the most graphic tales yet untold in the
history of the great civil war.

MIssHAPEN REPUBLICANIsM

Republican government in France is
very different article from republican
government i'll this country. Frances
republicanism consists mainly in the
idea of an Overthrown monarchy, with
out any intelligent idea of what to

unstable features of the French repub-

danger to the public than the unfixed
tenure of the presidential office. There

CONGRESS.

Congress will open tomorrow. 1t
will be red-headed congress. There
may not seem to be any connection be-
tween these two facts of especial rele
VancV, but there is. From time when
the memory of man goes not back to
the contrary. the presence of red
headed member in congress has always
been regarded as an omen of good inn
port.
Experience has amply demonstrated
that the committee which was graced
and Ornamented by a member possess
ing hair of sanguinary hue always ac
cOmplished more work than the COM
mittees who could not boast even an au-
burn treSs. and had better luck with it.
In congressional consideration the bald
head and the grey head. as indicative of
wisdom. have both been obliged to give
way to the red head. which holds itself
aloft. assertive and conspicuous. but
triumphant and suspicious. There
fore, consider the rejoicing when a poll
of the present congress diSclOSeS the
presence of tWenty-SeYen emphatically
red polls.
Already the experienced congress
men. taking courage from this fact, pre-
diet working" session, and the
struggle among the committees to secure
one of the twenty-Seven maScotS has
begun. Thus is the head of sunset hue
elevated at one bound from the level of
facetious comment to the lofty dignity
of an aiding factor in important legisla-
ton. And if the predictions are verified
to the extent that a working congress
instead of Il talking congress is the re-
suit, then will the red head, one of which
Minnesota herself furnishes from the
Second congressional district, have made
for itself a permanent place in the
public regard.
But if the opposite and ordinary use
less garrulity should obtain, not only
those twenty-Seven distinguished men,
berS of the national legislature, but the
entire country, in the language of the
day. will he ''red-headed." And woe be
unto congress should it provoke the
peoples wrath.

the fidelity shown to nature in depicting

was at the old homestead that she
evinced the talent that afterwards made
her famous wherever it is recognized.

THE WANDERER CRY.
Ye who are safely rolled
Warm in home nest;
Close to dear happy fold
Tenderly pressed,
Can it be that We know
Outside there's deathleSs woo?
All, how l envy We
Careless delight!
Thro' curtains rare | see
Banquets tonight!
Av, in such joy complete,
Shut all doors on the street,
Keenly the singing blast
Drives in my face!
Surely it now can last
But brief space
" lille thus SorelY grieVe,
Can this be Christmas ever
What for such dreariness
Ere can atone:
Dark numbing WEAKNESS
Suffered alone.
All that | undergo,
Surely, yet God must know!
All, that this night must find me
With no one 10 kiss
That its bells must remind me
OF pleasures ] miss,
Far from the nested fold,
Out i'll the bitter cold
Mother, close to a tender breast
FOndle thy dear.
In thy rapture of perfect rest
Forget how winds veer.
The child. when thy knell's tolled
Must learn of life's bitter cold
Perchance, when times sands are run
Down to the last;
When all the pain begun
Here shall be past;
When the last sob has fed
| shall be cOmfOrted!
Angels of flaky snow
Softly float down;
Here on my pallid brow
Fetter the crown.
Bear ME thrO' kisses warm
Far from all earthly storm.

1t isn't often that Minnesota people
have the chance to pray for cold weather
in December. But that's what they are
doing now. Any sort of a change would
be better than this sample of Chicago
winter that is now affecting us. Wet,
sOggy days are not native here. They
belong to Chicago and st. Louis, and we
wish they would stay at home. We want
our own bright skies and crisp winter
days back again.

There is a great deal of misdirected
charity in this world. There was ma
tional convention of good-minded
women in New York the other day,
who met for the purpose of de-
vising some scheme to assist the poor
Indians. Now the poor Indians,
wrapped up in their government blan-
kets and fed on government rations, are
pulling through the winter quite COM
fOrtably; while in New York, right under
the noses of these charitably-inclined
women, hundreds of poor people were
dying of hunger and cold, without an
eye to pity or an arm to save. There is
a great deal of charity in this world,
but it goes SO confOundedly aStray
that it doesn't amount to much.

good and staunch friends since coming

although for residence [ prefer Min

place as its rival. Some of the sharks
who have attempted to exact usurions
interest on time checks given labOrers
on the cable road may have to wait for
their money until it is found convenient
to pay them, but no individual laborer
who presents himself at the cOmpany's
office will be refused his wages. AS
matter of fact, the company is pretty
well up to date in the payment of this
class of claims, and the work of putting
the cable into position will be inaugu-
rated Monday.
